ABOUT ME

Home Brewing Biography:My sister sent me a kit from Brooklyn Brew Shop as a Christmas gift, and I figured since I've always talked to my wife about brewing, it was time to put up or shut up.

Future Brews:Once I get the hang of the procedures, I'd like to make some wheat beers, mainly Germanic or Belgian. I would like to give a pumpkin ale or a chocolate stout/porter a shot sometime in the future.

some gro...

Posted in thread: Mocha mead idea on 01-07-2014 at 04:50 PMI've used bread yeast for some other batches and the flavors seem to come through better. I'm
going to use four pounds of honey so I'm not sure it will be 50/50.

Posted in thread: Brother in law had a crazy idea on 12-11-2013 at 12:55 AMThere is such a thing as cola syrup available. If a beer was dosed with enough to hint at the
cola flavor it might be good.Hmm. That's an interesting idea. Maybe just do a beer with base
malts and low...

Posted in thread: Brother in law had a crazy idea on 12-08-2013 at 06:17 PMForgot about this. My brother in law is a great guy, but he's a Florida country boy and

fermenting though, ...

Posted in thread: Highest ABV you've gotten with bread yeast on 08-31-2013 at 02:22 PMYep. I have not tried it but I have been wanting to, I just might now that I am thinking about
it. I believe you drop it to a temp so that a thin layer of ice forms on the top, and you just
keep remov...

Posted in thread: Highest ABV you've gotten with bread yeast on 08-30-2013 at 01:17 PMI don't think there is any way to get to 25% with normal fermentation. You would have to luck
out and get the Spartan Warriors of yeast for that. There are some that can get to 18% or so
though. Beyon...

Posted in thread: Highest ABV you've gotten with bread yeast on 08-29-2013 at 05:19 AMYou'd probably achieve a higher strength using bread yeast if you did all the early stage
